converting long string to date [duplicate]

Question

I am getting date value from DB as a long value. I am converting this to string to use parse function. Given below is my code

 Date date1 = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").parse(strDate1);

But the app is crashing when this code is executing.it will successfully execute if the

strDate1="12/30/2012".

But i am having this value as "12302012235"(pzudo value).

How can i do this?

edit:

i am saving date value to DB as INTEGER. from DB i am getting this value and converting to string.this is the actual strDate1 value

strDate1="1346524199000"

Answer 1

Try the following code segment:

        Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
        c.setTimeInMillis(Long.parseLong(val));         
        Date d = (Date) c.getTime();        
        SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");       
        String time = format.format(d);//this variable time contains the time in the format of "day/month/year".    

Answer 2

Try this,

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
    Date dateD=new Date();
    dateD.setTime(LongTime);
    date=dateFormat.format(dateD);
